Website changed

For regular interactions, we have gravitated to using http://www.meetup.com/sfndang/ more than this blog.
We plan to keep the blog as is for the foreseeable future to help have easy access to an online record of our activities.

SfN 2010 Travel Award

The Dallas Area Neuroscience Group (www.sfndang.org) is pleased to participate once again in the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Graduate Student Travel Award Program.

The program provides a travel stipend to the SfN annual meeting to a graduate student nominee selected by our chapter. If you would like to be considered, please e-mail your annual meeting abstract, along with whether you are applying for the Graduate or Postdoctoral award, tolynda.wilmott@gmail.combefore 5pm May 16th, 2010.

***This is ONLY to be in the running for the travel award, it is NOT your official SfN Abstract Submission***

The names of the author and institution will be stripped off the abstract before submission to an independent judge. The abstract selected by the independent judge will be nominated by our chapter to vie for the award amongst other nominees from other chapters in the nation. In the previous occasions that we nominated a student, our students won the travel award.

If your abstract is selected, we will be contacting you immediately for these digital documents:• Completed nomination form• Copy of the abstract submitted for the annual meeting• A one-page curriculum vitae from the nominee including thefollowing information: education, including the date at which nominee advanced to candidacy for the PhD, honors/awards, publications(abstracts and manuscripts)• A one-page letter of recommendation from the advisor

If you share an interest in growing in neuroscience by using SfN grant funds to meet eminent scientists, discuss neuroscience books or initiate newer ideas for academic growth, feel free to join our group. Members can vote to guide the group and choose to become an officer too.

Again, ***this is ONLY for the travel award, NOT for SfN Abstract Submission***

Human

For our September chapter meeting, we are discussing two books -- the second half of one and the first half of another. The first one is a quick entertaining read so we thought we would accelerate a bit and launch into the second as well.
